Great trailer, looks awesome! What was the music that you used towards the end of the trailer? And would you mind me asking what your budget was?

Thanks for your reply mate. What were your reasons for not liking the Canon? I'm really leaning towards the 2 JVC's for their small size which is good for car mounts and stuff, but they are expensive and it may be difficult to do a whole movie with just them, hence the EX1.

So, with this action movie that I am doing, I've been trying to figure out frame rates for the delivery. I'm aiming for worldwide distribution on DVD and BluRay and want to know how important it is to shoot 24p. I live in Australia with easier access to PAL cameras. Is it worth my while...

Hey guys, I'm shooting an action movie that I plan to release on DVD and BluRay and need camera advice. I'm currently looking at using 3 cameras. 2x JVC HM100 and 1x Sony PMW-EX1 and am wanting to shoot 24p. I will be shooting the action scenes on the JVCs and the other scenes on the Sony. I...

Thanks for the reply. So you agree I should record 24bit double system as opposed to the EX1? No I don't really need 4 tracks, but I like it that the edirol has level control dials which other recorders don't seem to have (plus I've found one for sale for US$600). I've read the zoom has noisey...

I'm shooting a movie soon with the EX1 and I've got some sound questions. I've been looking at an Edirol R-44 or a sound devices 302 mixer. Now, everyone seems to love their 302's, but I want to know if I would get better results using the edirol and recording double system or going the sound...

Is there some kind of free (or not) software that you can get to make and edit music on a computer without having any instruments? Thanks

Thanks guys, but the point is that these cars are being used in a negative view, being that they're consciously trying to kill people. Would there be any problem with this even if I remove all labelling from the cars?

Hey guys, legal question. Killer car movies, can you get into any legal problems with the car manuafacturer for some kind of copywrite of their product being used?

Hey guys, So in a few months I'm going to be making my first feature. Its a car movie with lots of driving with engines revving, gun shots and a chainsaw. The movie will be mostly outdoor, but some indoor too. Does anyone have any tips or advice for sound in these shooting situations? It's...

Hey guys we've all heard stories of feature films stealing locations without permission. Such as The Terminator and Last House on the Left. We know its wrong to steal locations and if caught you can have big problems. But are there any ramifications if you don't get caught at the time, but end...

Hey guys, anyone out there had any experience using the JVC GY-HM100? Any problems that you found using it?

So you would go the EX1 over an HVX200 even though there is the problem of the rolling shutter? Also, an update. After much discussion and research we're now looking at using two JVC GY-HM100's to shoot all the action scenes, and a Sony PMW-EX1 to shoot the more tame scenes, especially the...

Hey guys, I'm after some advice for purchasing a new camera for my feature film production. Basically myself and my Director have been looking into the Panasonic HVX200 the Sony PMW-EX1, and the RED Scarlet. First, a bit about the shoot. The feature (Man vs Car) is an action movie. Mostly shot...

I've had a quote done through CGU Buisness Insurance for Public Liability up to $20 million for only $821.31 if that helps.

Hey guys, can someone please tell me why I need a Portable Field Recorder (such as a Marantz PMD-661 Recorder) instead of recording straight to my camera? Is the only reason people use mixers on a film production so that there's more precise control over the audio and to have less people around...

That's guys, I ended up ordering both 'Contracts for the Film and Television Industry' and 'The Pocket Lawyer for Filmmakers'.

Anyone on the boards here know anything about colour correction? I really know little about it and want to know more. What kind of programs and techniques are involved?

Here's a short I produced last year for the National Pro Bono Resource Centres 2009 Short Film Competition. I had no idea what Pro Bono was so did a little research and myself and the director, Sam Curtain, came up with this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3qmg2hMhJM

Hey, anyone out there have any experiences dealing with the EX1 rolling shutter problem? I've used the camera a few times before but never come across the problem, yet I never used it in the way to make the problem to occur. The reason that I ask is that my next project will be an action movie...
